23 When logging temperatures for a very long time, one needs to note that a standard Excel sheet is limited to 65535 lines. If this limit is reached (65000 lines), the logging process will close the current data-logging file, and will open a new one, with the same name but with “_1” appended to the ...

26 Before sending commands and receiving information from a specific module, it is necessary to select the instrument you want to interrogate.
